[Verse 1: L.E.J.R]
I’ve been tryn to figure this gravity
So I can escape it
Spent so long with pounds on my shoulders
Imagine this weightless
Not used to these heights, these falls, this atmospheres pressure
But I can’t live without it, in the air I breathe
A chooser or begger?
Light as a falling feather
Still under clouds and weather
Shining, no one to see it
Tree falling, what sound?
Never made waves, crashing forever
I’m stuck writing these letters
One day I’ll look down remember
When my biggest fan was in the mirror
The only one listening
Ever since my heart beat its been there
Before I knew my own name, took any of the blame, we all knew it was perfectly fair
Numb to it, so normal that we stopped to ever really care
Forgot about it completely, then we looked up and couldn’t help staring
One night, I got ahead of myself saw my reflection so scared
The sun came up how could I forget this gravity we bare
My soul always stuck to the floor
Music lift me begging for more
One day I’ll find what this for
But I’m pulled down nothing in store
[Verse 2: L.E.J.R]
All this is free to you, nothing but a click a view
Time is money, I lost so much
Cost priceless, what I lose
No change in my altitude
All in my head, I’m going under
I’m drowning I can’t handle all these cold sunless summers
But I’m just an artist in my room
A mystery with no clues
I’ve always dealt with this weight
Never fought it since that first day
Now I’m trying to get up and move
Chase what’s so close yet so far
These pounds that I can’t lose
Trying to break free with these bars
That make up my prison, listen
Never knew we was stuck here till I tried to leave
The moment I started writing, making beats
The moment I lost myself, L.E.J.R. conceived
A new born child, so timid and mild
Scared to see past his eyelids for the first time
While he has to believe
Or he’ll drift in the breeze
My faith was so weak
Buried alive
I never could breathe
All time low
While chasing the stars
What would I know?
I was 15
Wise fool, with a big dream
Growing pains put on a show, someday change
[Verse 3: L.E.J.R]
All I do is levitate
Most of you just can’t relate
What it’s like down there? Just wait
Till the end for heavens gates
I’ve never been one for patience
Everything is better now, I love just to taste it
While you day dreaming, I’m reigning on your parade top the clouds
Up here, way above you so profound
My time isn’t wasted
I hear angels singing so loud
Yet everything upside down
What I won’t show is that they screaming
So high, still feeling old demons
I’m still stuck under ground
Sometimes I think before I speak
(Feel before I think)
My mind is everywhere I ain’t be
My heart is in the right place but I lost it
Caught up in gravity just keep walking
Nothing to say but I keep talking
Reminiscing of days, thought I was stuck in a cage
Thought I was locked in
Now that I’m chasing the stars, I’m finding more darkness
Into these songs I put my whole heart
And It’s like L.E.J.R. robbed it
Why is this world so endless, yet I feel so boxed in?
Why are the stars so high, and this where we started?
This is a coffin
[Verse 4: L.E.J.R]
I been tryn to figure this gravity so I can escape it
Spend so long with pounds on my shoulders
To one day be weightless
But one day is forever away
My future looking so vague
What’s right? What’s wrong? How long until I stop seeing grey?
Alone trying to escape
Maybe my dreams one day fade
Alone trying to escape
This gravity in my veins
Alone tryn to escape
And so I get down and pray
Alone tryn to escape
This gravity in my veins
